SULFORAPHANE
Antioxidant & Detox
Sulforaphane is a molecule found in raw cruciferous vegetables such as Broccoli, Kale, Brussel Sprouts and highest of all in Broccoli Sprouts. There are also supplements that contain its active molecule Glucoraphanin and the enzyme Myrosinase that converts it to sulforaphane. It is one of the best molecules to activate the body’s own protective antioxidants. Sulforaphane assists in the normal detox process in the liver that breakdowns harmful chemicals like pesticides, hormones and medications that accumulate in the body.
